This smelled delicious in the bag. Nutty and cocoa vanilla-y. Lol. Kinda like Scorpio Zodiac from Adagio, which is a good nutty, tasty comfort tea for me. So I had high hopes.

I ended up using a tsp and a smidge for this because I’ve found that any tea claiming cocoa in it tends to be weak at the recommended measure. Turns out I probly should’ve used 2 tsp, maybe a bit more.

The hazelnut comes through very nicely and makes the tea plenty nutty. But unfortunately the cocoa falls flat for me and ends up making the whole thing taste like watered down chocolate, or just cocoa water…I guess they’d be interchangeable. Kinda like the cheap instant cocoa mixes you can get that say use water for it. Tastes kinda like that. Ugh Then again, I really haven’t found a ‘chocolate’ tea that I’ve liked, though Dubbele Chocolade comes pretty close. Guess if I want warm chocolate to drink, I’ll just have to make hot cocoa. Lol!

I’m going to give this another shot later with more tea because it certainly has potential to be a good nutty chocolate tea.

I wanted to cut soda out of my life, so I started drinking more tea. Now I’m quickly becoming addicted. But that doesn’t seem like so bad of a thing considering all there is out there to try.

I started with blacks, but oolongs are quickly becoming my new favorite. Unfortunately, I haven’t really been able to find a green or white tea that I really enjoy. Eventually maybe.

Always open for swaps. If you see something in my cupboard that you’re interested in, feel free to send me a message about it. I do have alot of sample sizes in my cupboard, so there might be a few that I won’t be able to swap. But it never hurts to ask. ^^

Likes – Fruity teas (Peach, Apricot & Pineapple to be specific, but I’d likely be open to others). I’m always on the lookout for a good caramel tea too…and a vanilla one. Or any sweet, dessert teas.
Oolongs and Blacks over any others.

Indifferent/Undecided – White teas are a bit delicate for me but I’m not opposed to trying something new. I haven’t yet found a green tea I like since I dislike vegetal flavors, but there has to be something out there. Coconut can be too strong, or alright depending on the tea.

Allergies – Mangos, some nuts especially walnuts, cherries. Rose petals/heavy rose teas make me ill though it’s not an allergy so to speak. Heavy artificial flavors also make me ill.

Brief ‘How I rate things’ scale: (Subject to change at any time. Lol)100-80: I’d definitely reorder this/Keeping this in my cupboard.79-50: Possibly reorder these. Either if there’s a sale or I’d consider swapping for it’s on a list and I don’t see anything else.49-40: It’s alright. Glad I tried it but I won’t be ordering/reordering this.39-20: Glad I tried before buying ‘cause I’d be ticked if I bought this. Ick.20-lower: UGH! Get it away!
